Naming
- name=* and name:=* tags:
- The name=* tag should be used as the primary local name. Use Arabic for places in Arab localities.
- Additionally, the name should be stated using the multiple name:=* tags for different languages:
- Use name:ar=* for Arabic
- Use name:he=* for Hebrew
- Use name:en=* for English (most common use)
- Use alt_name:en=* for others English transcriptions (including official name)
- Other languages are welcome.
- For example, the city of Bethlehem has its main name as name=بيت لحم and name:ar=بيت لحم in Arabic, as well as name:en=Bethlehem, name:he=בית לחם, alt_name:en=Bayt Lahm;Beit Lahm and several other languages.
- Do not use abbreviations, leave that for rendering.
- Many streets do not have an official name. If there's a de-facto name, use it. Otherwise leave it blank. Do not make up a name yourself.
